Question

Solve the system by substitution. If the system is inconsistent or has dependent equations, say so.

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x

• 20 x - 4 y = 0

substitute the value of y in equation

• = 20x - 4 ( 5x ) = 0

multiply to get 20x

• = 20x - 20x = 0

collect like terms

• = 0

we can see here that 0 indeed equal 0.

so, system has an infinite solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = 5x

20x - 4y = 0

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

1. Substitute in y [2nd Equation]:                                                                        20x - 4(5x) = 0
2. Multiply:                                                                                                             20x - 20x = 0
3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         0 = 0

Here we see 0 does indeed equal 0.

∴ our systems has an infinite amount of solutions.
